A simple celebration of my life at 24!!

I am now 24 years old, and I decided to celebrate it with my loved one,my best man, friends from elementary to forever, friends from high school to forever and my college buddy!

I chose Isla Verde, also known as Verde Island, is located between the islands of Luzon and Mindoro, along Verde Island Passage which is dubbed as the Center of the Center of Marine Biodiversity in the World. Known for its pristine clear waters and amazing underwater treasures. This island is located at Batangas City.

Our meeting place is at Pagsanjan, Laguna. We decided to leave at 3am in the morning so that we can arrive at the Tabangao Port at 6am. So we have to sleep earlier to prepare and get ready for the trip.

I am so excited because it is our first beach for 12 years of friendship from high school. It is one of the reason why i chose to celebrate my birthday at the island.

and now, here we are as we arrive at the Tabangao Port..

and we are now waiting for the boat, just a small boat that can occupy of 80 persons. We chose a public boat when going to the Verde Island..

inside the boat..

It took almost one and a half hour to arrive at the Verde Island riding in a boat. The waves are calm. So it didnt made me feel nervous, coz I dont know how to swim..

and as we arrive at the Verde Island..

Verde Island is really an amazing island. It has a clear water. Really as green. We were so amazed when we arrived.

Moving to our cottage. We checked in to the Pablo Macaraig Accommodation, where it consists of 3 nipa huts that can accommodate of 5 to 6 person and one event cottage. The caretaker of our accommodation is really kind and helpful. And it has a supremely relaxing and peaceful place.

We cooked our lunch as we arrive at the cottage, then after eating, we rest for only few minutes and started adventuring the Verde Island.

This is our first picture together of my loved one. This is also her first bonding experience with my friends that I call as Illegitimate Siblings..

After this picture, we saw a big stone. Almost a kilometer distance in our place. But we decided to go there. We never let a second go to waste.. we do everything we can do while we're on the island..

and we're brave enough to go to the top of the stone. with strong wind and sharp edges of stones..

and not a contented woman.. Decided to go to the top of the stone.. But I support her bravery..

and we swim for one hour.. In this spot, we can see a lot of corals..

After swimming, we saw again another one. We thought that it was stone, almost a half kilometer away from our spot.

The one behind us, is my bestfriend, my childhood friend and my partner in everything..

After this, we decided to go to our cottage. We are really tired. We really got thirsty.

At 7pm, we took our dinner. Preparation to our drinking session..

We only have 2 pcs of 1.5 Liters Alfonso Light, 1 dozen of San miguel Pale Pilsen in canned and 5 liters of Red Horse Beer, so we have to get ourselves drunk.

And here we are, drinking.. celebrating life in island..

We finished the drinking session at 1am. Knowing that we have Island Hopping at 6am..

And it starts the Island Hopping..

We have two private boat, one boat is good for only 10 persons.

and we just arrive at our first stop over..

This is the perfect place of the island.

There are lots of activities you can do here.. But we only have 30 minutes in here..

So, after that, we go to the next one. This one is called the Mahabang Buhangin in the island..

And one of my friends made a video of our adventure..
